How to Draw Zazu

Before I submit the other alien from the new Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, I want to upload a lesson on a character from Disney's movie, The Lion King. As you know I have tutorials on Simba, Mufasa, Scar, Nala, Timon, and Pumba. If you think about it, I still have a few more main characters to go if I want to complete the collection. Today, I will be showing you "how to draw Zazu", step by step. Even though he can be very annoying, Zazu helps keep things in line because he is an aid to the king which is Mufasa. I guess you could call Zazu a scout or a majordomo. What type of bird is Zazu anyway? Well, he is a red-billed Hornbill. These birds resemble toucans in a lot of ways because of their bills, and the color of their feathers. He also serves as a babysitter sometimes when young Simba and Nala want to go on epic journeys. There is a particular scene in the movie when Simba and Nala are singing about what it's going to be like when Simba is king. They are also trying to shake Zazu so they can go exploring on their own. I feel that he is a very important character, and without his comic relief, we would depending solely on Timon and Pumba. Anyway, I love the way he came out, and if you are a big Lion King fan, you will enjoy this tutorial that shows you œhow to draw Zazu, step by step. All the instructions are easy to follow, and understand as you go through them one by one. When you are done you would have completed the lesson, and gained new knowledge on drawing another Disney character. I shall be back with more peeps so stay tuned in.....

Step 1

Let's get started. First draw a round shape for the head, and then two other shapes for the torso and wings. Draw the lining for the tail, legs, neck, and beak.

Step 2

Now you can start sketching out Zazu's thick feathery eyebrows like you see here. When you are done with that, color them in as well. Next, draw the head, lids, and few pieces of feathers behind his head.

Step 3

Starting with the lid lines, finish drawing out Zazu's eyes, and color in the pupils. Next, start drawing the shape of the beak and the lower jaw. Next, add the marking lines that add some design to his beak.

Step 4

Now it's time to draw Zazu's body. Start by sketching out his neck, and then the shape of his chicken like body. Next, draw the wing, and add the lines for the feathers.

Step 5

Well, you have finally reached the end of this tutorial. Now that you're through, you can draw his feet, and then Zazu's very erect tail. His tail only consists of three big feathers. Add the strips and then the strips on the wings. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one.

Step 6

You are now finished with this tutorial. All you have to do now is color him in his bright safari colors, and than you are complete. I know you did an excellent job with this lesson, and I hope you enjoyed yourself too.
